​In July 2023, Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island, was arrested in connection with the Gilgo Beach serial killings. Heuermann was charged with three counts of first-degree and three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, whose remains were discovered in 2010 near Gilgo Beach. He was also named the prime suspect in the disappearance and death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

The arrest followed an extensive investigation that linked Heuermann to the victims through several key pieces of evidence. Cellphone records indicated communications between Heuermann and three of the victims. Additionally, an email account associated with him had been used to monitor the investigation's progress. DNA analysis played a crucial role; mitochondrial DNA from a pizza crust discarded by Heuermann matched DNA found on one victim. Further, hairs discovered on or near three victims were consistent with samples taken from items in the trash outside Heuermann's residence. Notably, during the times the murders occurred, Heuermann's wife and children were reportedly out of the state, aligning with the timeline of the killings. ​
